For an overview over the OEM models please see [https://wiki.segger.com/J-Link:OEM_models here].
There are several different OEM versions of J-Link on the market.
 
 
The OEM versions look different, but use basically identical hardware.
 
Some of these OEM versions are limited in speed, some of these can only be used with certain chips and some have certain add-on features enabled, which normally requires license.
 
In any case, it should be possible to use the J-Link software with these OEM versions.
 
 
However, proper function cannot be guaranteed for OEM versions.
 
SEGGER Microcontroller does not support OEM versions; support is provided by the respective OEM.

The J-Link debug probes with their outstanding performance, robustness, and ease of use are the market leading debug probes today. The J-Trace PRO sets a benchmark for instruction tracing with its streaming trace function that enables unlimited tracing at full clock speed.

This wiki page explains and links to details and device specifics that can not be found on the debug and trace probes product pages.

Glossary / Definitions of Debug and Trace specific terms

J-Link

SEGGER J-Links are the most widely used line of debug probes available today. They've proven their value for more than 10 years in embedded development. This popularity stems from the unparalleled performance, extensive feature set, large number of supported CPUs, and compatibility with all popular development environments.

J-Trace

J-Trace PRO is an advanced debug probe that supports the advanced tracing features of Arm Cortex cores. It can capture complete instruction traces over long periods of time—thereby enabling the recording of infrequent, hard-to-reproduce bugs. This is particularly helpful when the program flow "runs off the rails" and stops in a fault state. Using the right software tools, J-Trace PRO trace probes are particularly helpful in analyzing system behaviour enabling uninstrumented live code coverage and code profiling.
